EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut engraving, titled 'The Tiwer of London: the Armory, the Horse Armory and Wild Beasts in the Tower,' offers a glimpse into the rich history and diverse attractions of London during the early 19th century. The image, based on an illustration by Isaac Taylor from Ann and Jane Taylor's 'City Scenes, or a Peep into London,' published by Harvey and Darton in 1828, showcases several iconic landmarks and activities within the historic Tower of London. At the heart of the scene, Beefeaters, or Yeomen Warders, can be seen engaging with tourists, showcasing weapons from the Spanish Armada in the Armory. The Horse Armory, located within the Tower, is depicted with 13 suits of armor mounted on horses in barding, a traditional form of armor for horses used in medieval warfare. Beyond the Armory, the White Tower's zoo is home to lions and tigers in cages, a popular attraction for visitors. The Tower of London, a symbol of the monarchy and English history, is adorned with the Crown, Orb, and Sceptre, representing the power and authority of the monarch. Surrounding the Tower, various trades are in full swing, with Jewish traders selling their wares at the bustling market. The construction of a battleship in the dry dock at Deptford and the man working in the war-related office are evidence of London's significant role in England's military and maritime history. The engraving also highlights the picturesque Rosemary Lane and the vibrant Rag Fair, adding to the rich tapestry of London's diverse culture and urban landscape. This image provides an educational and engaging view of London during the early 19th century, offering a glimpse into its history, trades, and attractions.
